You'll join small teams with real ownership, deploying and operationalizing First Alert inside customer environments, including sensitive U.S. defense and national security missions. Your job is to turn open-ended questions into a working solution that gives operators an edge in real time. Palantir Foundry is central to this role. You'll design data pipelines, ontologies, and applications that combine Dataminr's real-time intelligence with the customer's own data. You own the solution from the first sketch to the finished system operators depend on, whether that's in the field or an operations center. Some days you're debugging infrastructure. Other days you're deep in data architecture with fellow engineers, building out API integrations, or sitting with customer stakeholders to figure out what to build next. ### AI Innovation at Dataminr Working at Dataminr you’ll have the opportunity to tackle the most exciting trends in AI on a daily basis to power a revolutionary product that uncovers critical events around the world as they unfold. **Regenerative AI:** our AI technology, ReGenAI, is a new form of generative AI that automatically regenerates real-time Live Event Briefs as events unfold.
